| Understanding the Numbers | ||||||
| The data shown above is slightly innaccurate. We believe the actual numbers to be higher. | ||||||
| There are several reasons for this, including: | ||||||
| 1. These numbers do not include data from 4 Georgia counties due to the way these | ||||||
| counties handle their forensics. Hall County is a major example. | ||||||
| 2. These numbers are a compilation of reports from 5 separate agencies. These reports were | ||||||
| produced on different dates and therefore have different "cut-off dates." | ||||||
| 3. It takes approximately three months for toxicology tests to be completed. As a result, | ||||||
| the final numbers for 2015 will not be available until after mid April 2016. | ||||||
| In viewing this report, one should consider the 2015 numbers to be "As Of June 6, 2015" | ||||||
